“I usually go to South Hills Clinic because it is convenient to me. In June alone I have visited the hospital four times, June 4, 6, 15 and 23. Each time I go there they check my high blood pressure however the last time (June 23) they checked my and was given Allergex and Panando, also told that I’m not sick. I also bled through my nose; you could see blood cloth coming out from my nose. When I ask for attention I was told that my attitude stinks,” she explained.
Then on Tuesday June 24, Lynette was very sick, vomiting. “I was taken to South Rand Hospital where the doctor saw me in less than 10 minutes. South Hills Clinic doesn’t have medicine and their equipment faulty. I am very angry because I nearly died,” noted Lynette.
